Hesperia Community Day

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Hesperia Community Day is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in Hesperia, California, a city within the Hesperia Unified School District. With only 33 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California high schools over the past decade, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hesperia Community Day faces significant challenges, including extremely low academic performance, with proficiency rates as low as 5.26% in ELA and 0% in Math and Science. The school also experiences high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.4% to 74% in recent years. Despite these struggles, the school serves a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 81.82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the school's per-student spending of $64,843 is significantly higher than the district and state averages, raising questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation.

In comparison, nearby high schools such as Hesperia High, Sultana High, and Mojave High all significantly outperform Hesperia Community Day in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and other key metrics. These schools serve larger student populations, have higher socioeconomic status, and receive lower per-student spending compared to Hesperia Community Day, suggesting that the small size, high concentration of at-risk students, and limited resources may contribute to the school's struggles to improve academic outcomes.
